Frame connectors

[TrailBeast]

Simple frame connectors are those bolt 1x1 POS ones.


my reasoning on this is if your opinon of "Simple frame connectors" are a POS, why are they even in the equasion of thought?

this is what i am doing...

You have to have a low end to compare a high end to, so you have a scale that's all.

If I said pick the fastest car between a VW and a Hellcat, I still had to mention the VW to give a scale to go by, even though a VW wouldn't be a consideration right?

Well, the skinny little bolt on frame connectors would be the VW.

Sorry people but I have been installing sub-frame connectors to increase the strength and because it will also help cut down noise. I have used both styles that have been mentioned because for some body types there are few choices. I had a rattle in a 70 Barracuda that I had a hard time finding until I saw movement in the side mirror looking at the door jamb. Putting my hand on the outside of the door while driving I found that the door was moving around on rough spots on the road. After welding in the sub-frame connectors the rattle and movement was gone. At the time the car was only 10 years old and I can guess that something like that will only get worse.

US Tool connectors are what I have got for the last 2 cars and they do take some time to install and you must remove the carpet to weld it in.

They really should be a required part if you are going to own one of these cars, so obviously they are definitely a planned part of the small build I'm attempting to get going over this next year or so.

My question is, are they enough to handle the torque of a 408? The stroker is a plan for the next 4-7 years, but if I need more rigidity than just the simple connecters will offer, I'd rather know sooner than later.

This wont be a drag strip car that's going to be ran harder than snot, BUT there will surely be some spirited nights on the town with it.
